Adapting a Pressbook for BC
by Hall, Nathan 10 Feb '23

10 Feb '23

Hello everyone. The group I lead up at Douglas College is interested in adapting the Pressbook "Universal Design for Learning (UDL) for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA)" for British Columbia. https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/universaldesign/ I am looking for two things: 1. Is anyone else already working on adapting this book? If so, how could we help? 2. Is there anyone interested in working with us on this project? Thank you.

New OER: Introduction to Criminology
by Amanda Grey 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

You may have already seen this elsewhere, but I wanted to share! Introduction to Criminology Edited by Dr. Shereen Hassan and Dan Lett, MAS  [cid:image001.png(a)01D937D5.F954DB70] Link to Resource: Introduction to Criminology<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/introcrim/> Although this open education resource (OER) is written with the needs and abilities of first-year undergraduate criminology students in mind, it is designed to be flexible. As a whole, the OER is amply broad to serve as the main textbook for an introductory course, yet each chapter is deep enough to be useful as a supplement for subject-area courses; authors use plain and accessible language as much as possible, but introduce more advanced, technical concepts where appropriate; the text gives due attention to the historical “canon” of mainstream criminological thought, but it also challenges many of these ideas by exploring alternative, critical, and marginalized perspectives. After all, criminology is more than just the study of crime and criminal law; it is an examination of the ways human societies construct, contest, and defend ideas about right and wrong, the meaning of justice, the purpose and power of laws, and the practical methods of responding to broken rules and of mending relationships. Special thanks to Leah Ballantyne, LLB LLM, a Cree lawyer from the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation in Pukatawagan, Manitoba, who provided expert Indigenous consultation/editing for this textbook.  This OER was jointly funded and supported by KPU Arts, KPU OER Grants, KPU OPUS, BCcampus and the Justice Institute of BC.     Check out the KPU Pressbooks Catalogue<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/catalog/openkpu> of works published by the Open Publishing Suite (OPUS)<https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS> at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.  Learn more about KPU Open Education<http://www.kpu.ca/open>.

CFP: The place of teaching in academic librarians' work - due Dec. 20
by Emily Carlisle-Johnston 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

The Canadian Journal of Academic Librarianship (CJAL) invites submissions to our special issue on the place of teaching in academic librarians’ work. CJAL is an open access, peer-reviewed journal published by the Canadian Association of Professional Academic Librarians (CAPAL). "Librarians teach. It might not be what we planned to do when we entered the profession, or it may have been our secret hope all along. Either way, we teach." (Oakleaf et al. 2012, 6) Teaching has become a core activity in academic libraries over the last decades, but librarians may find their teaching role to be a complicated one. Formal instruction largely began in the 1960s and 1970s as a grassroots movement led by librarians rather than library administrators or library schools (Mellon 1987), and some librarians still feel their library administrations do not understand or value their teaching. New librarians may still feel their education has left them unprepared for teaching. At the same time, some administrations are now creating dedicated teaching units and high-level administrative positions focused on teaching and learning, as well as providing greater support for learning to teach. Many librarians identify as teachers or educators as well as librarians, but may not consider themselves as teachers in the same way as faculty, and may not consistently define their work as teaching (Davis, Lundstrom, and Martin 2011). Some may feel anxious or ambiguous about the role (Lundstrom, Fagerheim, and Van Geen 2021; Mattson, Kirker, Oberlies, and Byrd 2017). We invite authors to contribute to these ongoing conversations by submitting proposals for inclusion in this special issue of CJAL. Both big picture and narrow focus on specific contexts/topics are welcome, including conceptual pieces, empirical studies, and case studies of practice. Authors interested in participating are asked to submit a proposal (maximum 800 words plus bibliography) as an email attachment (Word document or PDF) to can.j.acad.lib(a)gmail.com by December 20, 2022. For more information, please see the full CFP on the CJAL website: https://cjal.ca/index.php/capal/announcement/view/872. -- La Revue canadienne de bibliothéconomie universitaire (RCBA) invite des soumissions de propositions pour son numéro spécial sur la place de l'enseignement dans le travail des bibliothécaires universitaires. La RCBA est une revue en libre accès, évaluée par des pairs et publiée par l'Association canadienne des bibliothécaires universitaires professionnels (CAPAL). "Les bibliothécaires enseignent. Ce n'était peut-être pas ce que nous avions prévu de faire lorsque nous sommes entré.e.s dans la profession, ou c'était peut-être notre espoir secret depuis le début. D'une manière ou d'une autre, nous enseignons." (Oakleaf et coll. 2012, 6) L'enseignement est devenu une activité centrale dans les bibliothèques universitaires au cours des dernières décennies, mais les bibliothécaires peuvent trouver leur rôle d'enseignant.e compliqué. L'enseignement formel a commencé en grande partie dans les années 1960 et 1970 en tant que mouvement populaire dirigé par des bibliothécaires plutôt que par des administrateurs de bibliothèque ou des écoles de bibliothéconomie (Mellon 1987), et certain.e.s bibliothécaires ont encore l'impression que leurs administrations de bibliothèque ne comprennent pas ou n'apprécient pas leur rôle en enseignement. Les nouveaux bibliothécaires peuvent encore avoir l'impression que leur éducation les a laissé.e.s mal préparé.e.s pour enseigner. Parallèlement, certaines administrations créent désormais des unités d'enseignement dédiées et des postes administratifs de haut niveau axés sur l'enseignement et l'apprentissage, ainsi qu'un soutien accru à l'apprentissage de le pédagogie. De nombreux bibliothécaires s'identifient comme enseignant.e.s ou éducatrices.teurs ainsi que bibliothécaires, mais peuvent ne pas se considérer comme enseignant.e.s de la même manière que les professeur.e.s et peuvent ne pas définir systématiquement leur travail comme de l' enseignement (Davis, Landsturm et Martin 2011). Certains peuvent se sentir anxieuses.eux ou ambigu.e.s quant au rôle (Landsturm, Fagerheim et Van Geen 2021 ; Mattson, Kirker, Oberlies et Byrd 2017). Nous invitons les auteurs à contribuer à ces conversations en cours en soumettant des propositions à inclure dans ce numéro spécial de CJAL. Les auteurs sont les bienvenus, qu'ils aient une vue d'ensemble ou qu'ils se concentrent sur des contextes/sujets spécifiques, y compris les articles conceptuels, les études empiriques et les études de cas pratiques. Les auteur.e.s intéressé.e.s à participer sont invité.e.s à soumettre une proposition (maximum 800 mots plus bibliographie) en pièce jointe (document Word ou PDF) à can.j.acad.lib(a)gmail.com d'ici le 20 décembre 2022. Pour plus d'informations, veuillez consulter l’appel de proposition complet sur le site du CJAL: https://cjal.ca/index.php/capal/announcement/view/872. -- Emily Carlisle-Johnston (she/her), MLIS Research and Scholarly Communication Librarian University of Western Ontario London, ON, Canada p. 519-661-2111 ext. 84382
